Bowen Therapy?

Has anyone ever heard of or tried this? Its really hard to find someone in my area who does this.
They use the acupuncture pressure points but without needles. I had to drive for three hours to go for this therapy. Unfortunately, the drive was too much for me and it messed up the effects of the treatment. I started renting a motel room so I could relax before and after, but the drive still wore me out. (Not to mention my pocket book!) If anyone can find someone to do this treatment for them in their area, I would recommend giving it a try or at least look into it.....google it perhaps? I keep looking for someone closer to me that does this. When I do, I'll be going for it! It definitely helped me. I have to admit when I went the first time, I thought to myself "This is a farce....I've been bit in the wallet again for some stupid therapy that is going to do nothing". However...it made a difference in my pain. The effects of it lasted for a good week. Unfortunately, I could afford the three hour drive, a motel room for the night, and another three hour drive home. It was hell on me.
I'd love to hear from you if you're getting this treatment and what you think of it?

My acupuncturist is practiced in all sorts of different oriental treatments and acupressure is one of them. On me, he uses acupuncture. acupressure. heat, shiatzu massage and fire cupping.....along with a variety of chinese herbs for various issues.

It all has made such a big differene in my life. I am not without pain any day but I am able to be a functioning human being and to me that is what counts. I still have my bad days. But I have my Norco and Valium for those days until I can get in to see the acupuncturist.

It does take a while when you first go though....or if you put off going, like I do at times.....it takes a few visits for it to really make a difference. It is like peeling an onion....you have to take it one layer at a time until you get to the root cause.

Today is my 25th birthday, to my somewhat lack of surprise I can see already no one really seems to care. I've always been the kinda person to make sure that everyone I Care about feels appreciated and knew somebody had their back. I can count 4 times this year when I Went out of my way to make sure a "friend" felt good on their birthday, especially if they got left hanging. Its early in the...
